Title: Improvements in and relating to Advertising Devices and the like.
Inventor: HARRIS HENRY KINGSFORD
IPC: G09F11/295
Filed: 1910-03-17
Granted: 1911-03-17
Abstract: 6784. Harris, H. K. March 17. [Cognate Application, 21,396/10.] Reel and web apparatus.-An electric advertising apparatus comprises a frame or series of frames, each having a web a; Fig. 1, and rollers, contact-making devices on the web to set the advertisements accurately in the display position, reversing-means, and distant electric controlling-means such as a jacquard-operated switch. A continuously-running motor-driven shaft g, Fig. 4, can be geared up to either the shaft s or the shaft t, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, which shafts drive the rollers c, b, respectively, for all the sets of web apparatus. The switch 34, Fig. 7, completes the circuit of a magnet 22 at the point 40 except for the break at the clips 20, which are periodically bridged by pieces on the webs; thereby causing the ratchet 23 to rise periodically and permit a weight 25 to move the rack and jacquard 24 until the next ratchettooth is locked by the pawl 23. At the same time, the switch 34 also causes the energizing of a magnet 32, thereby keeping the shaft t in operation. The jacquard 24 has pins &c. so arranged as to make appropriate contact at the switches 28, 29, each of which is connected up to a web, and has its circuit completed when conductors on the webs pass between spring-clips 21. When this occurs, the magnet 11 is energized and throws the roller c out of gear with its shaft, and stops that particular web. The other webs are controlled by other similar stops &c. on the jacquard 24. When the advertisement has been displayed, the magnet 32 is de-energized and reverses the web, and the shaft s is set in motion. When a particular web is fully wound on to its roller b, the others continue to be wound while the slip bands 14 of the fully-wound devices slip inoperatively on their pulleys, The advertisements are displayed once more by the raising of the locking- device 31 through the switch 34 being moved so as to energize the magnets 35, whereby the springs 11 are permitted to throw the roller c into gear with the shaft 8 again.

Abstract: 15,519. Willis, P. R. J., [Kellar, N. H.]. June 28. Shafts and poles; whipple-trees. - A device for equalizing the pull of three draught animals comprises two poles secured to a frame which is secured between the hounds of the wagon or other vehicle in such a manner that the poles can rise and fall, means being provided for adjusting it to slightly varying widths of hounds. The frame carries a system of equalizing-bars having a central single-tree of special construction; and the poles diverge slightly outwards to enable unequal-armed neck yokes to be carried at their ends. The poles 10 are secured at their rear ends to bars 11, 13, and at their outward ends carry yokes 14 pivoted at one-third of their length. The stub consists of two stout timbers 15 pivoted beneath the bar 11 and diverging rearwardly at any desired angle to fit the hounds 16. Their rear ends are secured beneath the bar 13. The stub is secured to the hounds by a bolt beneath the bar 13, the bar being rounded above the hounds to enable the poles to swing vertically without binding it against the hounds. Or the bar 13 may be of metal cranked upwards above the hounds. The equalizing-bars 19 are pivoted at one-third of their lengths to the bar 11; and their pivots are stayed to the bar 13 and timbers 15 by braces 28, 29. The central single-tree consists of two bars 21, Fig. 5, clamped over end spacing-blocks 22 by bolts and end caps 24, and is provided with a pulley 25 around which is passed a chain 26 connected to the inner ends of the equalizing-bars 19.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Aromatic Ammonium Compounds.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1909-12-30
Granted: 1910-12-30
Abstract: 15,722. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabric]. Dec. 30, 1909. [Cognate Application, 17,099/10.] Quaternary ammonium compounds. - Sulphonic and carboxylic acids of quaternary ammonium compounds, containing at least one aralkyl group, are obtained by reacting on a tertiary amine with a halogenaralkyl sulphonic or carboxylic acid containing the halogen in the side chain. Sulphonic acids of quaternary ammonium compounds, containing at least one sulphonated aralkyl group, are obtained by sulphonating the ammonium compounds. In the first process, the sulphonic or carboxylic esters may be employed instead of the free acids. The compounds which may be sulphonated include those obtained by condensing trialkylamine or a dialkylarylamine with benzyl chloride or a homologue or analogue thereof, for instance, dimethylphenylbenzylammonium chloride, trimethylbenzylammonium chloride, and naphthalenetrimethylphenylaulmonium chloride, obtained by condensing #-chlormethylnaphthalene and dimethylaniline. The sulphonic acids appear to be inner anhydrides between the sulphonic group and the hydroxyl group of the ammonium compounds. According to examples :-a mono- and a di-sulphonic acid are obtained by sulphonating dimethylphenylbenzylammonium chloride ; a disulphonic acid is obtained by sulphonating dimethylphenylbenzylammonium sulphonic acid anhydride, produced from dimethylaniline-m-sulphonic acid and benzyl chloride ; benzyl chloride p-sulphonic acid is condensed with dimethylaniline ; dimethylaniline is condensed with benzyl chloride carboxylic acid, obtained by chlorinating p-toluic acid chloride and saponifying the product. The compounds obtainable from benzyl chloride and tetramethyldiaminodiphenylmethane, or leuco malachite green, may also be sulphonated. Specification 30,505/09 is referred to.
